They "expect that propellers...will be protected in a comparable way." That's not exactly just an example...

I'm not sure that they want to specify those items. They've already spec'd the bumpers to death, so it's either "Do we REALLY want to go farther?" or "Why stop there?". Judging by team reactions to the bumpers, I'd guess the former. I could be wrong.

If they do specify one thing, I would say they should do specific minimum protective equipment, possibly with relation to the size of the prop and the speed.
